Rivals five-star point guard JamalMurray, out of Kitchener, Ontario, has been contemplating a reclassification from the class of 2016 to 2015 in order to play college basketball next season. However, the 6-foot-5, 180-pound floor general said Tuesday evening that he was “90 percent” sure that he would remain in 2016, which will make him one of the most coveted players from Canada next season. “I like Michigan State… always make a run and have one of the best in the business: Tom Izzo,” he said. “Syracuse is in the mixture still as well.”

In the span of just over a month, AlbertOkwuegbunam has gone from zero offers to 14, as schools would love to add his 6-foot-6, 220-pound frame and pass catching skills as a tight end. “I’m visiting Iowa on Wednesday, Iowa State Thursday and Minnesota on Saturday,” he reported. All three have offered along with Syracuse, Cincinnati, Toledo, Miami (Ohio), Western Michigan and others.

TreHarbison has narrowed his list to five schools. Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Vanderbilt, Virginia and Wake Forest are still in contention for the Crest standout. His last stop was South Carolina. ”I went down there for a junior day a few weeks ago,” said the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Harbison.

When ThomasLopez left campus following his most recent visit to Rutgers in January, he appeared on the cusp of a Rutgers offer. Although that offer has yet to come, the Middletown (N.J.) South junior has remained in contact with Rutgers defensive coordinator Joe Rossi, and has been invited back to campus, this week. N.C. State, Pitt, Maryland, Virginia Tech and Syracuse — a school he visited this past weekend — have also taken notice following his productive effort his junior year.

FredHansard, the top-ranked sophomore in the NJ.com Top 50, has Rutgers on top following Monday’s visit to the school. Hansard, who was just on campus last month for unofficial visitors weekend, returned to campus, accompanied by Hun (Princeton, N.J.) head coach Todd Smith and teammate Kyle Horihan, a linebacker also being recruited by the Scarlet Knights. Hansard, who currently holds offers from Rutgers, Syracuse and Temple, is the cousin of Keith Price, who started at cornerback for Rutgers in the early nineties.
